A tiny oopsie on the <em>Globe's</em> Pavarotti page
News about the passing of Italian tenor Luciano Pavarotti broke after midnight today.
The Globe and Mail did well to hustle the following onto page A17 of its Toronto edition:
The left-most column of page A17 was the A book's In Brief section. Unfortunately, it contained the following as the second item from the top, putting it adjacent to the main Pavarotti story:
Pavarotti's health reportedly failing
Rome — Luciano Pavarotti's health has deteriorated and the tenor was in serious condition, suffering kidney problems and losing consciousness, a local Italian TV station reported yesterday.
The AGI news agency said the 71-year-old tenor, who has pancreatic cancer, was in “very serious condition.” It didn't name its sources.
At least one former BGMI colleague noticed the juxtaposition as well. However, I call it a “there but for the grace of God” moment.
